“I feel my attention settling for the first time in a long while, in this place that is infinite with detail, with layers and layers of life arrayed before my eyes. It occurs to me that I am resting.

The rocks are a little gauche, but they are sympathetic. They crowd attentively around me, heads cocked to listen. There's a gentleness to this place, a sense of peace. I brought nothing but doubt and cynicism and faithlessness here, but I found something that I didn't expect. The stones gave out grace in return for my doubt.”
― Katherine May, Enchantment: Awakening Wonder in an Anxious Age

“The times grow less dark for all the races, because within the culture, too, is memory, and understanding of what works and what does not. when those lessons are forgotten, the circle winds its way backward, and when they are remembered, society moves forward, and with each cycle, with each affirmation that which is good and that which is evil, the starting point of the next lesson is a bit closer to goodness. It is a long roll, this circle, but it is rolling in the direction of justice and goodness, for all of us. It is not hard to look back on history and see atrocities committed on a grand scale that horrify the sensibilities of the folk of this day but where simply accepted or deemed necessary by folk in days more superstitious and unenlightened”
― R.A. Salvatore

― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“If you are too quiet, you are weak
If you are too loud, you are rude
If you get irritated be explaining the same thing over and over, you are irritated period
If you are trying to progress, you are doing it wrong

No matter what you do or say, it isn't up to you on how others see you. Each person sees you differently
at home a loving family member
at work a crazy person that complains all the time
With friends bubbly and carefree
Its never up to you
So just be you
Don't worry about how others see you
They cannot control what the Almighty can
If there's a lesson learn from it
If there is a truth acknowledge it
But if there is negativity banish it!”
― Kabashe Pillay

with intention, intimacy and holy silence.
And we think it is enough.

After all,
It is here again
It must be right
this time around.”
― Leonie Anderson

Everything is in everything.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
